This is an exciting opportunity to work for our client's young carers service in Windsor and Maidenhead. They are looking for a motivated Young Carer Administrator to join their service to develop and strengthen their relationship with the Healthcare Sector in order to promote early identification of young carers and develop effective referral routes for young carers to access support for their own wellbeing and development.

Our client runs a number of young carers support services across England. Their services provide a whole-family approach, working collaboratively with parents, children and young people aged between 5 to 18 years old who are dealing with the emotional, practical and physical pressures of life as a young carer. Our client works with families and other professionals to reduce the "burden of care" by mobilising support around the young carer and their family. They offer a range of support including outcome focussed assessments, 1-1 sessions and wellbeing programmes. Our client is committed to making sure that caring is a positive experience for all their young carers. While they continue to provide care, young carers should be able to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.

Your impact

Collaborating primarily with health professionals, you will advocate for greater recognition and support for young carers and develop and maintain suitable referral routes for young carers to access personalised individual support that identify wider issues impacting their health and wellbeing.

Your skills

The successful candidate will have a passion for working with children, young people and their families. You will have knowledge and understanding of the impact caring for another person can have on a young person as an individual and within family dynamics. You must have excellent written, verbal and interpersonal skills and have good IT skills, particularly using emails, Microsoft Office and experience of using databases. You will have excellent communication skills and able to work with families and key partners to identify and support young carers.

Our client is committed to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in all that they do and welcome applications from all sections of the community. They particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQIA+ candidates and candidates with disabilities because they are committed to increasing the representation of these groups within their organisation. They know that greater diversity will lead to even greater results for families and children and strive for their workforce to be truly representative of the diverse communities they support. They offer a guaranteed interview scheme for disabled applicants and will reimburse your travel cost if you attend an interview.

What will they offer you?

Our client is a great organisation to work for; they were recently awarded accreditation by Best Companies as a reflection of the "very good" levels of employee engagement. In recent years, they have created an organisational atmosphere that is forward-looking, entrepreneurial and focused on impact and excellence. They want talented, creative, motivated people to join them and make them even better.

Our client will offer you flexible working hours, a generous pension scheme and leave entitlements, eye care vouchers, a cycle to work scheme and other great benefits. They have an excellent wellbeing offer and they will invest in your professional development with on-going quality training and career development opportunities. You'll join an established, supportive and high-performing service and have the opportunity to thrive in an innovative organisation that values your opinion, encourages learning and has the needs of children and families at its core.

Our client is forward looking, ambitious and committed to continuous improvement. They are a people focused, can-do organisation, which strives for excellence in all they do and operates with mutual respect. If you share these values and behaviours and have the necessary skills, then they look forward to hearing from you.
